For Stupidity: Jerry Meals in the 19th inning calling a runner safe who was tagged out four feet ahead of home plate. Just unbelievable -- I'm guessing he was tired or something?

For importance: Jim Joyce at 1B calling the 27th batter safe. This is a fan's video of it happening, and you can tell even from the third base side he was out.

Any that can rival these? The 1996 ALCS home run comes to mind.

Not a baseball call, but this one always seemed terrible in my opinion:

Correct call by rule though wasnt it?

Nothing will ever beat the ref who fucked up the coin toss in OT

That was a good one -- I remember watching it in Kenosha on the way back from a Cubs/Brewers game the night before -- I should open this thread in a general sports category.

I still say the Jerry Meals one is worse though... this one, at least I can see the "logic".
